SPECTO® Fence at Adventure Sports & Entertainment in Jackson, New Jersey, Withstood Tornado Winds When your outdoor sporting facility calls for durable fencing, few solutions come close to the sheer strength of SPECTO® Fencing Systems from Grand Slam Safety. Adventure Sports & Entertainment based in Jackson, New Jersey, noticed how tenacious our fencing products can be when the unexpected rolls through — in this case, tornado winds. What Happened? A tornado swept through Ocean County, New Jersey — a place where crowds go to enjoy theme parks, outdoor activities and sporting events. Adventure Sports & Entertainment was in the storm's path leaving facility managers and crews concerned about several outdoor fields. The facility hosts baseball, softball, soccer and flag football games. Employees at the venue were pleased to find that the SPECTO® Fencing Systems around their six baseball fields survived the 120 mph winds. While other outdoor fencing solutions would crumble under these conditions, Grand Slam Safety's offerings could handle it. Our SPECTO® Fencing Is Engineered to Last One of the characteristics that separates SPECTO® Fencing Systems from alternative solutions is the failsafe breakaway clips. During the Ocean County tornado incident, these clips detached, and a few Velcro sections were damaged — both parts are easily replaceable. Rather than paying to replace all of the fences around the baseball fields, Adventure Sports & Entertainment can pick up the necessary components. The Value of Advanced Safety Netting and Fencing SPECTO® Fencing Systems help prevent accidents during games. You can customize the perimeters of baseball fields as well as softball fields with tension-based technology intended for safe interactions between the players and fencing. Only 30 inches of space is needed between the mesh barriers and hard surfaces to catch an athlete in a sprint.

Different divisions and leagues may require varying field dimensions, which directly influences the size of the outfield fence you need. If your facility has multiple leagues for different age divisions, you'll want fencing that can fit all your requirements. Grand Slam Safety offers adjustable fencing options. Here's a look at how you can measure an outfield fence. Field Size According to Leagues & Division When you're designing a baseball field for different leagues and divisions, there are several considerations to keep in mind to ensure you have suitable dimensions for each group. You have to consider the distance between base paths, including the distance between the home plate to the mound and the necessary size of the foul pole. There are some common dimensions for youth leagues such as foul lines having to be a minimum of 200 feet to the outfield fence and 275 feet to the center field fence for a little league baseball field. Pinto baseball field dimensions consist of foul lines that are 125 feet to the fence and 175 feet to the center field fence. Steps to Mapping Out the Field Follow these steps to design your own field from scratch: Position home plate so it's centered in the middle of the backstop. Run a tape measure from one corner of the backstop in the direction of where home plate will go. Repeat this step with the opposite corner of the backstop. The start of home plate (the side closest to the backstop) will act as an apex. The left and right corners of the backstop should create an invisible triangle with the bottom of home plate. Position a stake at the back of the home plate. You'll use this as a point of reference later. Trace a line from the back of the home plate over the pitcher's mound and to the center of the second base. The distance should be based on the appropriate league. Locate the first and third bases by running a tape measure from the second base to each base separately. This distance will depend on the league. The corners of the first and third bases should create an arc with the back of the home plate and the center of the second base. Draw lines from the foul-side corners of first and third base to the back of home plate. This can help you determine the correct angles of the first and third bases. Locate the pitching rubber by referencing the back of home plate and the center of second base. The rubber mound should be equidistant from these two points. Align the outer sides of the pitching rubber with the outer sides of the home plate. Length of the Outfield Fence There are several variations and types of outfield fences. The size of the field and the types of leagues usually determine the length. Outfield fences grow gradually in size at each level to match the players' development and experience. Here are the common outfield fence length sizes for different divisions: Pinto: This is a transitional division where children between the ages of 7 and 8 can play baseball at a competitive and instructional level. The length of the outfield fence for this division is 200 plus feet. Little League: This is a division in baseball for boys and girls 8 to 12 years old. The length of the outfield fence for the little league is 225 plus feet. Bronco: The Bronco division is for 11 and 12-year-old players who play at a competitive level. The outfield fence length for Bronco is 250 plus feet. Pony: The Pony division is for 13 to 14-year-old players preparing for high school baseball. The outfield fence length for this division is 300 plus feet. High School, College and Pro: These divisions feature players who compete in a professional setting at an advanced level of play. The outfield length for these divisions is 400 plus feet. Height of the Outfield Fence The different levels of play also determine the height of the outfield fence. For divisions such as Pinto, Little League, Bronco and Pony, the fence should be at least 4 feet high with foul poles that extend at least 6 feet above the baseball outfield fence length. For high school, college and pro divisions, an outfield fence that is at least 6 feet tall is the recommended height, and 8 feet is the preference. You can use an outfield fence calculator to calculate the size of the fence you need.

Indoor pickleball leagues seem to grow more popular each year. Teams across the country enjoy this high-speed game, which has some similarities to tennis. If you want athletes to play pickleball in your recreation center, it's important to know indoor pickleball court dimensions, which differ from an outdoor court. This is your guide to indoor pickleball court sizes and how to verify you're following the rules of the game according to the governing body, USA Pickleball (USAP). What Is Indoor Pickleball? Indoor pickleball is a sport with two or four players that involves using paddles to pass a plastic ball over a net. All of the rules of outdoor pickleball apply to indoor leagues. The main difference is that most outdoor leagues play on hardcourt surfaces similar to tennis matches while indoor leagues use gymnasium flooring. Another key variation between indoor and outdoor pickleball is the type of game ball used. Indoor pickleball leagues use regulation balls with 26 holes, while outdoor leagues use balls that have 40 small holes. The difference in court surfaces calls for game balls of different hardnesses and weights. Standard Indoor Pickleball Court Sizes Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time, you're in the process of making your own court or you need a temporary setup for recreational games, it's helpful to know the typical pickleball court sizes. A standard indoor pickleball court is 44 feet long by 20 feet wide. Both of these measurements include game lines. An indoor court should have a pickleball net that sits 36 inches tall from the ground at each side and 34 inches tall in the center. A standard indoor pickleball court has a centerline on each side of the net that splits the court into right- and left-side serving sections. Additionally, there is a 7-foot non-volley zone that extends from the net outward. Players are unable to step inside this zone while hitting the ball. Considerations for Pickleball Courts When you're creating a pickleball court, there are a few things to consider. Review the details below to learn more about the correct ways to host an indoor pickleball event. 1. Pickleball Court Size in Feet vs. Meters It helps to know pickleball court sizes in more than one unit of measurement. For a quick reference, an indoor pickleball court is 13.41 meters in length by 6.10 meters in width. 2. The Rules for Mini Indoor Pickleball Courts The smallest indoor pickleball court size acknowledged by USAP is the standard 44 feet by 20 feet layout. Any game played on a court smaller than these dimensions will not count toward official tournaments. 3. Game Lines The game lines for an indoor pickleball facility must be 2 inches in width. You'll require sidelines, baselines, centerlines and non-volley lines to create a regulation court.
